careful and constant adherence to the instructions is essential to ensure vehicle road-worthiness and
safety. In addition, the normal basic safety precautions for working on motor vehicles must, as a
matter of course, be observed.

2.1.1 Service identification

– Referring to vehicle data sticker ⇒ page 17 , check if vehicle
is equipped with following PR numbers:
The PR number is decisive for the service intervals
⇒ page 6 .
Vehicle ID with PR number
Model year PR number Service
2018 ► QI6 Flexible service
2018 ► QI1, QI2, QI3, QI4, QI7 Fixed service
In the past, the PR numbers QG0, QG1 and QG2 determined the
type of service.
With immediate effect, these PR numbers only denote whether
an engine oil level sensor is installed or not and no longer have
an influence on the oil change interval.
2.1.2 Flexible service

The flexible service enables long service intervals, depending on
individual driving style and the conditions under which the vehicle
is used.
Note
For the flexible service a special LongLife engine oil is required

⇒ page 6 .
Vehicles with production control number “QI6” are set up for flex‐
ible service at the factory. This means that these vehicles have a
flexible service interval display and are fitted with the following
components:
♦ Flexible service interval display in dash panel insert
♦ Engine oil level sensor
♦ Brake pad wear indicator (if fitted)
For vehicles with flexible service the service interval is determined
by the control unit and is indicated on service interval display
(SID) ⇒ page 4 .
Therefore the service intervals are flexible.
2. Service work 3
T-Roc 2018 ➤
2.1.3 Fixed service

For vehicles with a fixed service, fixed services are calculated.
This means that the mileage or time values are already set by
Volkswagen. For normal operating conditions achieving these
service intervals is technically assured.
Therefore the service intervals are fixed.
For vehicles
♦ which have not been delivered with extended servicing inter‐
vals (ESI) (PR numbers “QI1”, “QI2”, “QI3”, “QI4”, “QI7”),
♦ or for which the extended servicing interval (ESI) was stopped
♦ or for which no LongLife engine oil was used
the fixed service applies.
These non-flexible service intervals apply to all types of service
including an engine oil change.
Therefore, these vehicles have a fixed service interval display
⇒ page 4 and for maintenance the fixed service intervals (rigid
service intervals) apply. These vehicles are fitted with the follow‐
ing components:
♦ Fixed service interval display in dash panel insert
♦ Brake pad wear indicator (if fitted)

Introduction of extended servicing intervals (ESI)

Ask your importer if the extended servicing interval (ESI) is avail‐
able for your country.
Flexible service interval display (only vehicles with a flexible serv‐
ice)
Calculation of service intervals:
♦ The service intervals on vehicles with a flexible service is cal‐
culated. Input values such as, distance travelled, fuel con‐
sumption, oil temperature and loading on diesel particulate
filter are evaluated by the control unit.
♦ The result of the evaluation is a value for the deterioration of
the oil due to thermal loading.
♦ The oil deterioration is the deciding factor concerning the dis‐
tance that can still be driven to the next service.
4 2. Service work
T-Roc 2018 ➤
Note
For vehicles with a flexible service but which are serviced ac‐
cording to fixed service intervals, the service interval display must
be recoded to “non-flexible” ⇒ page 108 .
Fixed service interval display (only vehicles with a fixed service)

Calculation of service intervals:
♦ The service interval for vehicles with a fixed service is calcu‐
lated in fixed service intervals. This means that the mileage or
time values have been previously determined and specified by
Volkswagen.
♦ For normal operating conditions achieving these service in‐
tervals is technically assured.
Service type for service due
♦ On vehicles with text messages on dash panel insert, the
message “Service now” and a “spanner symbol” are dis‐
played.
The service information disappears after a few seconds or if en‐
gine is running.
Service initial warning
If a service is due, “Service initial warning” appears on dash panel
insert display when ignition is switched on.
♦ On vehicles with text messages on dash panel insert display
the following appears: “Service in --- km or --- days”.
The service information disappears after a few seconds or if en‐
gine is running.
♦ The service initial warning is displayed 20 days before the next
service is due.
♦ The remaining distance displayed is always rounded to the
nearest 100 km or the remaining time rounded to full days.
Retrieving service information from Infotainment system
The current service information can always be read with ignition
switched on, engine switched off and vehicle stationary.
– Switch on ignition.
– Switch on infotainment system.
– Press Home function button.
– Press Vehicle function button.
– Press Setup function button.

Safety notes ⇒ page 15
Lifting points for lifting platform and trolley jack ⇒ page 16
3.1.1 Safety information
WARNING
♦ Before driving onto a lifting platform ensure there is suffi‐

cient clearance between low lying components and lifting
platform.
♦ Before driving a vehicle onto a lifting platform it must be
ensured that the vehicle weight does not exceed the per‐
missible lifting capacity of the platform.
♦ Lift vehicle only at points indicated in figure to avoid dam‐
aging vehicle underbody or tipping vehicle.
♦ Never start engine and engage a gear with vehicle lifted
as long as even one driven wheel has contact with the
floor! Disregarding these warnings risks the danger of an
accident!
♦ If work is to be performed under vehicle, the vehicle must
be supported by suitable stands.
3. General information 15
T-Roc 2018 ➤
3.1.2 Lifting points for lifting platform and trol‐

ley jack
Caution
♦ If the support plates or lifting arms of the lifting platform

are improperly seated the surrounding parts of the vehicle
may be damaged.
♦ Screw support plates of the lifting platform out far enough
to ensure sufficient clearance between lifting arm and side
member. Use only the side member reinforcement as a
support point for the support plates of the lifting platform.
Front lifting point

– Position support plate in area of side member marking (at ver‐
tical reinforcement of floor pan -arrow-).
WARNING
Ensure that side member reinforcement seats centrally on

support plate of hoist mounting.
Rear lifting point

– Position support plate in area of side member marking at ver‐
tical reinforcement of floor pan -arrow-.
WARNING
Ensure that side member reinforcement seats centrally on

support plate of hoist mounting.
3.2 Entries in service schedule

If a component is changed which has a change interval prescribed
by the manufacturer, e.g. the toothed belt, the new change inter‐
val begins at the time the component is changed.
• Therefore it is very important, every time a component is
changed, to document this in the service schedule.
16 3. General information
T-Roc 2018 ➤
• This also applies to components which were changed before

the regular change interval.
3.3 Severe operating conditions

If the vehicle is used under severe operating conditions some
work will have to be performed before the next service is due or
at shorter service intervals.
• Regular short trips or stop and go operation in urban traffic
• High percentage of cold starts
• Vehicle is used in areas with winter temperatures over a long
period
• Regular long periods of idling (e.g. taxis)
• Vehicle is often driven at full throttle with high payload or whilst
towing a trailer
• Using diesel with elevated sulphur content
• Regular operation in areas with high levels of dust
• Countries with generally poor road conditions such as high
number of potholes, protrusions, high elevations in the road/
deep “tramlines”.
• High number of gravel roads with poor surface quality, such
as irregularities/bumps, elevations, protruding stones, waves.
• Subtropical climates (combination of high ambient tempera‐
ture and high air humidity)

Caution
• If faults are found, it is essential for the poly V-belt to be

renewed.
• In the case of diesel engines, toothed belts which came
into contact with oil, brake fluid, fuel or reducing agent,
must always be renewed.
• In the case of petrol engines, toothed belts which came
into contact with oil, brake fluid, fuel or coolant, must al‐

4.23 Cooling system: checking frost protec‐

tion and coolant level
Note
♦ The water used for mixing has a major influence on the effec‐
tiveness of the coolant. Because the water quality differs from
country to country and even from region to region, the quality
of the water to be used in the cooling system has been speci‐
fied by Volkswagen. Distilled water fulfils all requirements.
Therefore, only ever use distilled water when mixing coolant
for topping up or renewing coolant.
♦ Use only coolant additives which conform with the ⇒ Elec‐
tronic parts catalogue (ETKA) . Other coolant additives may
reduce corrosion protection substantially. The resulting dam‐
age could lead to loss of coolant and subsequent severe
damage to the motor.
♦ Mixed in the proper proportions, coolant inhibits frost and cor‐
rosion damage as well as scaling. Furthermore, the boiling
point is raised. For these reasons, the cooling system must be
filled all year round with a coolant additive.
♦ Because of its high boiling point, the coolant improves engine
reliability under heavy loads, particularly in countries with trop‐
ical climates.
♦ Use ONLY refractometer - T10007A- for determining current
anti-freeze value.
♦ Frost protection must be guaranteed down to -25°C as a min‐
imum and, in countries with arctic conditions, down to approx.
-36°C. Increasing the frost protection is permissible only if cli‐
matic conditions require stronger frost protection. It may, how‐
ever, be increased only to a maximum of -48°C. Otherwise,
the cooling effect will be impaired.
♦ Do not reduce the coolant concentration by adding water even
in the warm season or in hot countries. Frost protection must
be guaranteed down to at least -25°C.
♦ Read anti-freeze figures from the respective scale for type of
anti-freeze added.
♦ The temperature read off the refractometer - T10007A- corre‐
sponds the »ice flocculation point«. Flakes of ice may start
forming in the coolant at this temperature.
♦ Never reuse old coolant.
♦ Use only a water/coolant additive mixture as a slip agent for
coolant hoses.
4.23.1 Frost protection: checking, replenishing

coolant additive if necessary
T-Roc 2018 ➤
♦ Refractometer - T10007 A-
Note
Read precise value for the following tests at light/dark boundary.

Using a pipette, place a drop of water on the glass to improve the
readability of the light/dark boundary. The light-dark border can
be clearly recognised on the “WATERLINE”.
– Check concentration of coolant additive using refractometer -

T10007 A- (refer to operating instructions).
The scale -1- of the refractometer is calibrated for coolant addi‐
tives G12; G12 Plus, G12 Plus Plus and G11.
The scale -2- is only calibrated for coolant additive G13.
– If frost protection is insufficient, drain some coolant and top up
with coolant additive ⇒ page 63 .
Note
♦ If the currently used coolant additive cannot be determined

precisely, use the scale -2- for coolant additive G13.
♦ Please observe disposal instructions!
– Check coolant additive concentration after road test again.
4.23.2 Coolant level: checking, replenishing

coolant if necessary
– Check coolant level in coolant expansion tank with engine
cold.
♦ Delivery inspection: coolant level is at least at marking -1-.
♦ At delivery inspection a coolant level above marking -1- is per‐
missible.
♦ The excessive amount of coolant does not need to be extrac‐
ted as the coolant level in new vehicles will decrease after the
system has been bled.
♦ Inspection: coolant level is above “min. marking” -2-.

4.32 Engine oil: capacities and specifications

A new VW standard for engine oil - 508 00/509 00 - has been
introduced with immediate effect. This is distinguished by reduced
fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
The main facts are the following:
♦ VW 508 00/509 00 is a combined product that meets the petrol
specification as VW 508 00 and the diesel specification as VW
509 00.
♦ Volkswagen recommends not using the new specifications for
older engine generations. The recommended specifications
are allocated to the engines in this chapter.
♦ Engines with particulate filter (petrol and diesel) can also be
filled with oil standard VW 504 00/507 00 when serviced. How‐
ever, the caveat could be elevated fuel consumption and
CO2 emissions.
♦ Engines without particulate filter can also be filled with oil
standard VW 502 00/505 01 when serviced. However, the
caveat could be elevated fuel consumption and CO2 emis‐
sions.
♦ The new oil is miscible.
♦ If oil with VW engine oil standard 508 00/509 00 is used in
engines that are not recommended for this, engine damage
could ensue.
♦ As of model year 2018, engines that are not recommended to
be used with the new oil will have a notice (lock carrier/engine
compartment) from which the oil standard to be used can be
gleaned.

4.38 Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator: calibrat‐

ing
Note
♦ The calibration of the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator must only

be performed “after” the tyre pressure has been corrected to
the prescribed values.
♦ If no pressure loss and tyre damage are found after a tyre
pressure warning, the incorrect warning can be rectified by
calibrating.
Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator compares the speed and thus the
rolling circumference and vibrations of the individual wheels via
the ABS sensors. If the tyre pressure changes on one or several
wheels, the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator will indicate this in the
dash panel insert and the Infotainment system.
The rolling circumference of tyre changes if:
♦ The tyre pressure is too low.
♦ The tyre has structural damage.
♦ The vehicle is loaded more heavily on one side.
♦ The wheels on one axle are loaded more heavily (e.g. when
towing a trailer or when driving in mountains).
♦ Snow chains are fitted.
♦ The temporary spare wheel is fitted.
♦ One wheel per axle has been changed.
T-Roc 2018 ➤
The tyre pressure monitoring warning lamp has a yellow warning

lamp in the dash panel insert -arrow-.
♦ A “PERMANENT LIGHTING-UP” in conjunction with a warn‐
ing tone, means “WARNING”, pressure loss has been detec‐
ted, check tyre pressure and carry out calibration.
Calibration
– Press Tyres function button.
– Press Set function button.
– Press Confirm function button.
4.39 Tyre repair set: checking
Note
♦ Depending on the equipment level, the vehicles are equipped

with a breakdown set.

The tyre sealant in the bottle has a limited shelf life.
The expiry date is therefore specified on the bottle -1-.
– Enter expiry date in maintenance table.
– If the expiry date has been reached, replace tyre sealant. (The
tyre sealant must not be more than 4 years old).
Note
♦ If the bottle was opened e.g. at a "flat tyre", it must also be

renewed.

Ready-to-use window cleaner (Ready Mix) does not need to be
mixed with water.
Note
♦ Genuine washer fluid ⇒ ETKA prevents the spray jets, washer

fluid reservoirs and connecting hoses from freezing.
♦ In vehicles with fan jets, the reservoir must be filled with Gen‐
uine washer fluid, as this fluid has a low viscosity at tempera‐
tures below freezing. Otherwise the complicated spray jet
system can become blocked by the crystallised washer fluid,
which affects the spray pattern of the spray jet. Genuine wash‐
er fluid ensures that the fan jets remain fully functional at low
temperatures.
♦ Genuine washer fluid ⇒ ETKA can also be used in the sum‐
mer. The powerful cleanser easily removes wax and oil resi‐
due from the glass.
♦ Frost protection must be guaranteed to approx. -25°C (approx.
-35°C in countries with an arctic climate) in the windscreen
wash/wipe system.
